Lindsay Wildlife Museum |
The Lindsay Wildlife Museum is a wildlife rehabilitation and educational center that focuses on native California wildlife and natural history. The museum exhibits live, non-releasable native wildlife in Walnut Creek, California. Founded in 1955, the museum operates the oldest and one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, treating more than 6,000 injured and orphaned wild animals each year.
Other displays at the museum include natural history, aquariums, insects, and a children's room. A 35-foot replica of Balancing Rock, cast from the real formation atop Mount Diablo, supports more than 100 plant and animal species found on the mountain.
The museum is open daily excluding Mondays and Tuesdays. Hours vary by season and on holidays so please call to inquire.
